2 Timoseewo 4
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
4 (A)Nkukuutirira mu maaso ga Katonda ne Kristo Yesu, anaatera okusalira abalamu n’abafu omusango, era n’olw’okujja kwe, n’olw’obwakabaka bwe, 2 (B)buuliranga ekigambo kya Katonda, ng’oli mwetegefu mu kiseera ekituufu n’ekitali kituufu, ng’olaga ebikwekeddwa, ng’onenya, ng’ozaamu amaanyi, wakati mu kugumiikiriza, n’okubonaabona okungi, n’okuyigiriza. 3 (C)Kubanga ekiseera kijja lwe baligaana okuwulira enjigiriza entuufu, era olw’okugoberera okwegomba kwabwe balyekuŋŋaanyiza abayigiriza, abalibayigiriza bye baagala, okuwulira. 4 Baligaana okuwuliriza eby’amazima, ne bagoberera enfumo obufumo. 5 (D)Naye ggwe weefugenga mu bintu byonna, ogumirenga ebizibu, ng’okola omulimu ogw’omubuulizi w’enjiri, ng’otuukiririza ddala obuweereza bwo.
6 (E)Nze kaakano mpebwayo, era ekiseera kyange eky’okuva ku nsi kituuse. 7 (F)Nnwanye okulwana okulungi, mmalirizza olugendo lwange, nkuumye okukkiriza kwange. 8 (G)Kye nsigazza kwe kufuna engule ey’obutuukirivu enterekeddwa, Mukama omulamuzi omutuukirivu gy’alimpeera ku lunaku luli. Taligiwa nze nzekka, naye aligiwa n’abo bonna abeegomba okujja kwe.
9 Fuba okujja amangu gye ndi. 10 (H)Kubanga Dema yandekawo ng’ayagala omulembe gwa kaakano, n’agenda e Sessaloniika. Kulesuke yagenda Ggalatiya ne Tito n’agenda e Dalumatiya. 11 (I)Lukka yekka y’ali nange. Ggyayo Makko omuleete, kubanga annyamba nnyo mu buweereza. 12 (J)Tukiko n’amutuma mu Efeso. 13 Bw’obanga ojja ondeeteranga omunagiro gwange gwe naleka e Tulowa ewa Kappo. Ondeeteranga n’emizingo gy’ebitabo, na ddala egyo egy’amaliba.
14 (K)Alegezanda, omuweesi w’ebikomo yankola ebyettima bingi. Mukama alimusasula olw’ebikolwa bye. 15 Naawe mwekuume, kubanga yawakanya nnyo ebigambo byaffe. 16 (L)Mu kuwoza kwange okwasooka, tewaali n’omu yajja kubeera nange, bonna banjabulira. Nsaba Katonda ekyo kireme kubavunaanibwa. 17 (M)Kyokka Mukama waffe yabeera nange, n’ampa amaanyi, ne nsobola okutegeereza ddala Abaamawanga bonna Enjiri ne bagiwulira, bw’atyo n’anziggya mu kamwa k’empologoma. 18 (N)Era Mukama anamponyanga mu buli kabi, era alintuusa mirembe mu bwakabaka bwe. Mukama agulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina.
Okulamusa n’Omukisa
19 (O)Nnamusiza Pulisika ne Akula n’ab’omu maka ga Onesifolo.
20 (P)Erasuto yasigalayo mu Kkolinso, ate Tulofiimo namuleka mu Mireeto nga mulwadde. 21 Fuba ojje ng’ebiseera by’obutiti tebinnaba kutuuka.
Ewubulo akulamusizza, ne Pudente, ne Lino, ne Kulawudiya, n’abooluganda bonna.
22 (Q)Mukama waffe abeerenga n’omwoyo gwo. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
2 Timothy 4
New King James Version
Preach the Word
4 I (A)charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, (B)who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. (C)Convince, (D)rebuke, (E)exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 (F)For the time will come when they will not endure (G)sound doctrine, (H)but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and (I)be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, (J)endure afflictions, do the work of (K)an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Paul’s Valedictory
6 For (L)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of (M)my departure is at hand. 7 (N)I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me (O)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous (P)Judge, will give to me (Q)on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
The Abandoned Apostle
9 Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for (R)Demas has forsaken me, (S)having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get (T)Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And (U)Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 (V)Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. (W)May it not be charged against them.
The Lord Is Faithful
17 (X)But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, (Y)so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered (Z)out of the mouth of the lion. 18 (AA)And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. (AB)To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
Come Before Winter
19 Greet (AC)Prisca and Aquila, and the household of (AD)Onesiphorus. 20 (AE)Erastus stayed in Corinth, but (AF)Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.
21 Do your utmost to come before winter.
Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
Farewell
22 The Lord [c]Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
